When the electronic parking brake is engaged or released, there will be a motor operating sound. This noise is produced by the motor controlling the rear wheel brake calipers or the tensioner, which is a normal occurrence and does not require excessive concern. However, if other abnormal noises occur, it is necessary to promptly send the car for inspection to ensure driving safety. The advantages of the electronic parking brake are as follows: 1. Simple operation: The biggest advantage of the electronic parking brake is its simplicity—just flick a switch to activate the parking brake function. Additionally, the settings of the electronic parking brake are more user-friendly, as it can be engaged under any circumstances. 2. High safety factor: If accidentally pressed while driving, the electronic parking brake will not activate as long as the throttle is still in the working position. If pressed during emergency braking, the electronic parking brake will not lock the wheels but will provide stronger braking force to assist in stopping.

What does SCR mean on a car?

SCR on the car dashboard refers to the Selective Catalytic Reduction system. Its function is similar to the three-way catalyst in gasoline vehicles. It uses a catalyst in the traditional muffler while also employing a urea supply system and an injection regulation system. It is generally used to treat NOx in diesel engines. SCR system's fuel consumption is slightly lower compared to EGR and DPF systems, and the consumption of urea aqueous solution can also be compensated in fuel consumption. An illuminated SCR light can cause the engine to reduce power, and if not addressed promptly, it may even lead to pump burnout. Therefore, any issues must be dealt with immediately. The basic working principle of the SCR system is: exhaust gas exits the turbine and enters the exhaust mixing pipe, where a urea metering injection device is installed to spray urea aqueous solution. Urea undergoes hydrolysis and pyrolysis reactions at high temperatures to produce NH3. On the surface of the SCR system catalyst, NH3 is used to reduce NOx, releasing N2. Excess NH3 is also oxidized into N2 to prevent leakage. Generally, for every 100L of fuel consumed, 5L of liquid urea aqueous solution is consumed. The SCR system is also widely used in diesel engine exhaust after-treatment. By optimizing the fuel injection and combustion processes, it aims to control particulate matter (PM) generation within the engine and then treat nitrogen oxides formed under oxygen-rich conditions externally. Using automotive urea (which decomposes into ammonia at certain temperatures), it selectively catalytically reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx), achieving both energy-saving and emission-reduction goals. This technology is the mainstream technical route in Europe, where almost all long-haul trucks and large buses adopt this method.

Is It Illegal If the Trunk Won't Close?

Driving with an unclosed trunk is considered a traffic violation. Here are the consequences of driving with an open trunk: 1. During braking or acceleration: Loaded goods may be thrown out of the vehicle, potentially causing property loss for the owner or, in severe cases, hitting following vehicles and triggering traffic accidents. 2. Items falling from the vehicle: This can create road debris, obstructing following vehicles and potentially causing traffic congestion. 3. On bumpy roads: The entire trunk lid may lift up, blocking the rear windshield and impairing the driver's visibility of rear traffic conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.

What Causes the Anti-Slip Light to Illuminate?

The following are specific reasons why the car's anti-slip system light may illuminate: 1. Diagnosis required at a 4S shop: (1) Software issues causing poor signal transmission. (2) Fuse blown or circuit short. (3) Poor contact or malfunction at the sensor interface. (4) ABS pump failure. 2. Accidental pressing of the ESP off button: Accidentally pressing the ESP off button, leading to manual deactivation of the anti-slip system. To resolve, restart the engine and briefly press the ESP-OFF button to check if the anti-slip system was manually turned off.

How to Control Speed Poorly When Practicing Automatic Transmission?

Here are the solutions for poor speed control when practicing automatic transmission: 1. Maintain a good mindset: A positive attitude is the foundation for good driving practice and should be maintained during future driving to calmly handle dangers. 2. Practice repeatedly to find the right feel: Wear thin-soled shoes during practice for better sensitivity and avoid stomping on the accelerator. 3. Seek help from the instructor: A good instructor can help students quickly master driving skills. If speed control remains an issue, ask more questions to identify and fill gaps for improvement.

Why is the car wiper not working?

Possible reasons for the car wiper not working include: blown wiper fuse, burnt wiper motor, or damaged wiper switch. You can go to a nearby repair shop for a detailed inspection to troubleshoot the issue. Below is a detailed explanation: 1. Troubleshooting methods for a non-working car wiper: The wiper may not work due to a blown fuse (which prevents circuit overload), causing the wiper to malfunction. In this case, open the fuse box to check if the corresponding fuse is blown. 2. Precautions for replacing fuses: Before replacing a fuse, make sure to turn off all the car's electrical systems. Also, consider the possibility of a burnt motor, although the probability is low, it could be due to quality control issues.

What Causes High Engine Coolant Temperature in Summer?

Here are the relevant reasons for high engine coolant temperature in summer: 1. Coolant issues: The coolant has reached its replacement cycle or has deteriorated; there is insufficient coolant; the coolant circulation system is clogged. Regularly check the vehicle's coolant and inspect the circulation system. 2. Engine issues: The engine thermostat is damaged. This issue should not be overlooked and requires timely repair, otherwise it will affect engine performance. 3. Radiator issues: The radiator fan is damaged. Regularly inspect the vehicle's radiator fan.
